UNASSIGNED: Preeclampsia is associated with higher in-hospital cardiovascular events and mortality with known disparities by race/ethnicity, but data on the interaction between income and these outcomes remain limited.
UNASSIGNED: This study investigated racial and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular outcomes of preeclampsia at delivery hospitalizations.
UNASSIGNED: We analyzed National Inpatient Sample data using International Classification of Diseases-9th Revision/-10th Revision codes between 2004 and 2019. We identified a total of 2,436,991 delivery hospitalizations with preeclampsia/eclampsia as a primary diagnosis representing White (43.1%), Black (18.4%), Hispanic (18.7%), and Asian or Pacific Islander (A/PI; 3.3%) women. We stratified the population based on median household income (low income, medium income, and high income). Logistic regression and propensity-matched analysis were used for reporting outcomes adjusted for age, hospital region, and baseline comorbidities.
UNASSIGNED: Black Hispanic, and A/PI women with preeclampsia had higher in-hospital mortality compared with White women across all groups of income. Hispanic women had lower odds of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) compared with White women. A significant interaction effect was observed with race/ethnicity and median household income for in-hospital mortality and PPCM with preeclampsia. Furthermore, high-income Black women had higher odds of PPCM, stroke, acute kidney injury, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, and venous thromboembolism compared with low-income White women.
UNASSIGNED: Women with preeclampsia experience significant racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in inpatient mortality and cardiovascular outcomes at delivery. Across all income groups, Black, Hispanic, and A/PI women experience higher odds of in-hospital mortality compared with White women. Furthermore, high-income Black women had greater odds of many CV complications compared with low-income White women.

UNASSIGNED: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected marginalized groups in the United States. Although most children have mild or asymptomatic COVID-19, some experience severe disease and long-term complications. However, few studies have examined health disparities in severe COVID-19 outcomes among US children.
UNASSIGNED: To examine disparities in the clinical outcomes of infants and children aged <5 years hospitalized with COVID-19 by race/ethnicity and payer status.
UNASSIGNED: Children aged <5 years hospitalized with an admission diagnosis of COVID-19 (April 2021-February 2023) were selected from the PINC AI™ Healthcare Database. Hospital outcomes included length of stay (LOS), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, oxygen supplementation, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and prolonged duration of each outcome. Multivariable logistic regression models compared hospitalization outcomes by race/ethnicity and payer status.
UNASSIGNED: Among 10,190 children (mean age: 0.9 years, 56.5% male, 66.7% Medicaid-insured), race/ethnicity was distributed as follows: White non-Hispanic (35.1%), Hispanic (any or Unknown race; 28.3%), Black non-Hispanic (15.2%), Other race/ethnicity (8.9%) and Unknown (12.5%). Payer status varied by race/ethnicity. White non-Hispanic children had the highest proportion with commercial insurance (42.9%) while other racial/ethnic groups ranged between 13.8% to 26.1%. Black non-Hispanic children had the highest proportion with Medicaid (82.3%) followed by Hispanic children (76.9%). Black non-Hispanic children had higher odds of prolonged outcomes: LOS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.05-1.38), ICU days (aOR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.07-1.93), and IMV days (aOR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.09-2.97) compared to White non-Hispanic children. Similar patterns were observed for Hispanic and children of Other race/ethnicity. Medicaid-insured and children with other insurance had higher odds of prolonged LOS and oxygen days than commercially insured patients.
UNASSIGNED: There were disparities in clinical outcomes of COVID-19 by race/ethnicity and insurance type, particularly for prolonged-duration outcomes. Further research is required to fully comprehend the causes and consequences of these disparities and develop strategies to reduce them while ensuring equitable healthcare delivery.

Our objective was to assess the relationship of socioeconomic disadvantage and race/ethnicity with low-risk cesarean birth. We examined birth certificates (2007-18) linked with maternal hospitalization data from California; the outcome was cesarean birth among low-risk deliveries (i.e., nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex [NTSV]). We used GEE Poisson regression with an interaction term for race/ethnicity (7 groups) and a measure of socioeconomic disadvantage (census tract-level neighborhood deprivation index [NDI], education, or insurance). Among 1,815,933 NTSV births, 26.6% were cesarean. When assessing the joint effect of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic disadvantage among low-risk births, risk of cesarean birth increased with socioeconomic disadvantage for most racial/ethnic groups, and disadvantaged Black individuals had the highest risks; e.g., Black individuals with a high school education or less had a risk ratio of 1.49 (95% CI 1.45-1.53), relative to White individuals with a college degree. The disparity in risk of cesarean birth between Black and White individuals was observed across all strata of socioeconomic disadvantage. Asian American and Hispanic individuals had higher risks than White individuals at lower socioeconomic disadvantage; this disparity was not observed at higher levels of disadvantage. Black individuals have a persistent, elevated risk of cesarean birth, relative to White individuals, regardless of socioeconomic disadvantage.

BACKGROUND: Uterine cancers diagnosed before age 50 years are increasing in the U.S., but changes in clinical characteristics and survival over time across racial/ethnic groups have not been previously described.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate age-adjusted, hysterectomy corrected incidence rates and trends, and five-year relative survival rates of uterine cancer in women aged <50 years, overall and stratified by race/ethnicity and histology.
METHODS: We included microscopically confirmed uterine cancer cases (diagnosed 2000-2019) in women aged 20-49 years from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER 22). Age-adjusted incidence and 5-year relative survival rates, and 95% confidence intervals were computed using SEER*Stat and compared across time periods (2000-2009 and 2010-2019). Incidence rates were adjusted for hysterectomy prevalence using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, and trends were computed using the Joinpoint regression program.
RESULTS: We included 57,128 uterine cancer cases. The incidence of uterine cancer increased from 10.1 per 100,000 in 2000-2009 to 12.0 per 100,000 in 2010-2019, increasing at an annual rate of 1.7%/year for the entire period. Rising trends were more pronounced among women <40 years (3.0%/year and 3.3%/year in 20-29 and 30-39 years, respectively) than in those 40-49 years (1.3%/year), and among underrepresented racial/ethnic groups (Hispanic 2.8%/year, Non-Hispanic, [NH]-Black 2.7%, NH-Asian/Pacific Islander [PI] 2.1%) than in NH-White (0.9%/ year). Recent (2010-2019) incidence rates were highest for endometrioid (9.6 per 100,000), followed by sarcomas (1.2), and non-endometrioid subtypes (0.9). Rates increased significantly for endometrioid subtypes at 1.9%/year from 2000-2019. Recent endometrioid and non-endometrioid rates were highest in NH-Native American/Alaska Native [NA/AN] (15.2 and 1.4 per 100,000), followed by Hispanic (10.9 and 1.0), NH-Asian/PI (10.2 and 0.9), NH-White (9.4 and 0.8), and lowest in NH-Black women (6.4 and 0.8). Sarcoma rates were highest in NH-Black women (1.8 per 100,000). The five-year relative survival remained unchanged over time for women with endometrioid (from 93.4% in 2000-2009 to 93.9% in 2010-2019, p≥0.05) and non-endometrioid subtypes (from 73.2% to 73.2%, p≥0.05) but decreased for women with sarcoma from 69.8% (2000-2009) to 66.4% (2010-2019, p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Uterine cancer incidence rates in women <50 years have increased from 2000 to 2019 while survival has remained relatively unchanged. Incidence trends can be primarily attributed to increasing rates of cancers with endometrioid histology, with the greatest increases observed among NH-Black, Hispanic, and NH-Asian/PI. Sarcomas, while much rarer, were the second most common type of uterine cancer among women <50 years and have poor prognosis and apparent decreasing survival over time. Rising rates of uterine cancer and the distinct epidemiologic patterns among women <50 years highlight the need for effective prevention and early detection strategies for uterine cancer in this age group.

UNASSIGNED: To determine whether socio-demographic and preoperative clinical factors contribute to the percent total body weight loss (%TBWL) after bariatric surgery (BS).
UNASSIGNED: BS is the most effective long-term treatment for medically complicated obesity. More information is needed about the factors that contribute to postoperative %TBWL in large and ethnically diverse cohorts.
UNASSIGNED: This retrospective study conducted in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California region included 7698 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) between January 2009 and March 2015. Trajectory analyses were conducted from 5-year follow-up data to assign patients to \"low,\" \"average,\" or \"high\" postoperative %TBWL groups. We then evaluated whether age, sex, race/ethnicity, neighborhood deprivation index and preoperative body mass index (BMI)/weight loss, diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea contributed to postoperative %TBWL using logistic regression models.
UNASSIGNED: Of 7698 patients (83.2% women), 48.6% underwent a RYGB and 51.4% underwent a SG. Postoperative %TBWL trajectories over 5 years were obtained in 6229 (81%) of 7698 eligible patients. About 27.8% and 29.3% of patients followed the \"low\" postoperative %TBWL trajectory, for RYGB and SG, respectively. Men, older patients, and Asian, Black, and Hispanic/Latino patients were more likely to be classified in the low postoperative %TBWL group. Patients showing lower postoperative %TBWL had a lower preoperative BMI (but lost less weight before surgery) and were more likely to have preoperative comorbidities.
UNASSIGNED: This study confirms and extends prior findings of the effects of several demographic and preoperative clinical factors on postoperative weight loss. Findings could improve the support of patients to achieve desired surgical outcomes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. Compared with European Americans, African Americans have more favorable lipid profiles, as indicated by higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lower triglycerides, and less dense low-density lipoprotein particles. The less atherogenic lipid profile translates to lower incidence and prevalence of CVD in African Americans with diabetes, despite higher rates of hypertension and obesity. However, African Americans with CVD experience worse clinical outcomes, including higher mortality, compared with European Americans. This mini-review summarizes the epidemiology, pathophysiology, mechanisms, and management of CVD in people with diabetes, focusing on possible factors underlying the \"African American CVD paradox\" (lower CVD incidence/prevalence but worse outcomes). Although the reasons for the disparities in CVD outcomes remain to be fully elucidated, we present a critical appraisal of the roles of suboptimal control of risk factors, inequities in care delivery, several biological factors, and psychosocial stress. We identify gaps in current knowledge and propose areas for future investigation.

Drawing from theories of affect, role strain and stress processes, we studied the impact of raising grandchildren on older mothers\' relationships with the adult offspring whose children they raised, with particular attention to how these patterns differ by race and ethnicity. We used mixed-methods data collected from 531 older mothers regarding their relationships with 1935 of their adult children as part of the Within-Family Differences Study. Multilevel regression analyses showed that raising grandchildren was associated with greater mother-adult child closeness in Black families; however, in White families, raising grandchildren was associated with greater mother-adult child conflict. Qualitative analyses revealed that these differences could be explained by the tendency of Black grandmothers to emphasize positive aspects of raising grandchildren, compared to White grandmothers, who viewed raising grandchildren as demanding and who described their exchanges with their adult children as unequal. Overall, our findings reflect racial and ethnic differences in intergenerational solidarity.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to assess the impact of healthy lifestyle on prostate cancer (PCa) risk in a diverse population.
METHODS: Data for 281,923 men from the Million Veteran Program (MVP), a nationwide, health system-based cohort study, were analyzed. Self-reported information at enrollment included smoking status, exercise, diet, family history of PCa, and race/ethnicity. Body mass index (BMI) was obtained from clinical records. Genetic risk was assessed via a validated polygenic score. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess associations with PCa outcomes.
RESULTS: After accounting for ancestry, family history, and genetic risk, smoking was associated with an increased risk of metastatic PCa (hazard ratio [HR], 1.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.64-2.02; p < 10-16) and fatal PCa (HR, 2.73; 95% CI, 2.36-3.25; p < 10-16). Exercise was associated with a reduced risk of fatal PCa (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.76-0.98; p = .03). Higher BMI was associated with a slightly reduced risk of fatal PCa, and diet score was not independently associated with any end point. Association with exercise was strongest among those who had nonmetastatic PCa at MVP enrollment. Absolute reductions in the risk of fatal PCa via lifestyle factors were greatest among men of African ancestry (1.7% for nonsmokers vs. 6.1% for smokers) or high genetic risk (1.4% for nonsmokers vs. 4.3% for smokers).
CONCLUSIONS: Healthy lifestyle is minimally related to the overall risk of developing PCa but is associated with a substantially reduced risk of dying from PCa. In multivariable analyses, both exercise and not smoking remain independently associated with reduced metastatic and fatal PCa.

This systematic review of the literature examined the extent and nature of white parent\'s ethic-racial socialization (ERS) of white children, the factors associated with white parents\' ERS, and the child outcomes of white parents\' ERS. It followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The review included 43 English-language works published between January 2000 and June 2021 and referenced in PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, or Sociological Abstracts. It showed that white parents are engaged in ERS, employing many of the same strategies identified in research with parents of color as well as strategies identified as specific to white families. The review revealed child and parent factors related to ERS and child outcomes of ERS, including racial attitudes. In contrast with parents of color\'s ERS, white parents\' ERS tends to teach strategies of advantage, preparing children to maintain their privilege. We offer recommendations for practice and future research.
